Tips on my 1.2x1.2x2m Grow set up

Hi Gents / Ladies

First thread

need some tips, ive had a lil grow experience from a SMALL pc grow set up of 1 plant, to a 4 plant cupboard grow where i got 2oz yield off a 250w cfl bulb in a very tight place.

Im know looking at building on my experience.. interested in growing indica purely because of the large yield an shorter period of growth..
any suggesstions on what i should be looking at judging on my experience an my grow space.. whch is a tent of 1.2mx1.2m an 2m height.

im pretty much settled on the 600w hps.. cfl NO MORE

just really wanted to know how many plants could i fit into this tent.. do i need a 5gal pot or could i get similar results from something smaller.. ?
or maybe the different types of plant could make me fill more plants into the tent.. ?
or even do i need alot of plants to get a larger yield..?

just need help an suggesstions,
im going soil btw will do hydro some stage in my life.. but soil for me is easier..

600w hps
1.2x1.2x2m tent
carbon filter
air vents.

nutes im going to use BIOBIZZ, the full spectrum all through out including the soil

Thank you

any an every input would be great

try coco m8 it is a lot quicker and easier to get amazing yields.

if you already have the nutes and soil fair enough, but honestly you would be better off in coco. you only need to use a couple of different nutes so it is no more harder to manage than a soil grow

i would do 9 plants in 11l pots with a 2 week veg from cutting, you can do 5 harvests in a year and you will get over half a kg per harvest with the right strain.

do you use bloombastic?

I run a similar set up, 600W HPS with a 6" ventilation/filter and a cool hood on it ..

how many plants and how big pot`s all depend on your goal, you can do one big plant in a 7-12 gallon pot in a scrog and Veg it for +8 weeks or you can do 12 in 1 gallon pot`s 12/12 from seed in a SoG or anything in between, so do you have space for a mother/clone`s or do you have to buy expensive seed`s and do you have patient or in a hurry to harvest ? do you like watering 12 pot and what work follow or do you like the idea of one or two plant/pot`s Etc Etc.


also, will you have a cool tube/hood on it ? will you grow vertical or horizontal, are you settled on soil ? or maybe a hempy bucked system with perlite ?

look in to some of this (google)

Thanks for your reply mate

i chose bloombizz as i have used it before, i heard alot about coco an i will look into it as i havent purchased it yet.. an i dont feel like mixing my own perlite as that to be honest goes well over my head,

9 plants sound good, i have no means of getting quality cuttings so am going to have to go down the seed root to be guaranteed what im growing is what it says it is.

Thank you alot

also what strain would you choose .. an i have never heard of bloombastic

Hey dude, like to say that pic you posted was top quality an yeah that sounds awesome my goal is a big yield of relativley high potency to sell on.. i dont smoke i just grow.

i will be going from seed.. any recommendations? and i guess purely vertical. i am prepared to get my hands dirty so 12 pots dont faze me. im sure the hard work would catch up to me though.

not really in a hurry to harvest but the quicker options will always twig my ear.. i havent explored a cool hood, i will be running more than 2 /3 fans, a typical vent system.. humidity shouldnt be an issue but if its a problem im sure i can gather information an act on it swiftly.

im settled on soil i have to say because soil has always worked for me, i have seen hydro grows love the results but dont have the financial commitment to buy the system.

thank you for your input

Love the pic,

quickly though.. do you turn the plants on a daily weekly basis so the whole plant can absorb the rays..

or do you just leave it how it is..

i would do it this way as it looks good but is it effective?

cause i reckon the light horizontally imo "stands for nothing with my experience" would work better no?

Thank you

just try to do a little research on vertical grow, and Hempy bucket, not more expensive or hard to do then soil and a horizontal hood and will increase yield

and no don't turn em around daily, plant will turn/grow to the light, if anything make a screen of some kind (chicken net Etc) and let em fill it in a kind of vertical scrog

bloombastic is a bloom booster, it really helps to make your buds heavy and resinous. i would recommend it.

at the grow shop you will get 9x11l pots, 4x 50l coco, 1l cocoA+B and a 150ml bloombastic all for around £100, this will grow over 1kg of decent quality bud in around 5 months under your 600w hps.

using your cfl you could make clones and veg them under this until the flowering tent is empty, this would make you produce a lot more.

I will certainly look into that 1kg damn thats alot

Hey man I was just wondering whats going on with this grow? How did it turn out?
I'm thinking about a vertical setup.
Hope this was banging!!

If you already have the nutes and ground reasonable enough, but genuinely you would be better off in coco. you only need to use a number of different nutes so it is no more more complicated to handle than a ground grow
